French Brocante and fairs..

Sharing some images of this week's activities at French Brocantes and fairs

stopping for espresso and frittes

I spotted her as she stepped onto the pavement...

She accepted the invite to come home with us..

Dd enjoys the Brocante fairs in the rural areas much more for all the activities around...

there was time for out rides this week amongst the vineyards at the local village club, and she was invited to join in the equestrian classes which she was most excited about..guess French horses understand English as well...or is it the other way around?

There's several pictures I love...the blue and white teacup of course:) and Dd packing and pointing that gun (better not mess with her) and already learning a bargain when she sees one. What a very lucky girl.

DD looks like she is having such fun time! (And she is such a cutie) We are in Plett for a week, this afternoon watching the Wimbledon final with strawberries and champagne but I would still rather be shopping at a brocante and drinking espresso at a cafe! Xx Sharon

Hi Colette what a team you and Dd are :)She is so adorable as her Mom, Mum, Mere is :)

I know you were taken with the textiles and all the goodies that follow at a brocante.I too would have enjoyed shopping right along side of you! next time :) as for now we shop right along with you Via your blog site.

All the best, and safe travels as you go on your vacation from the brocantes and then home!

Thank you for sharing - my husband had a job offer that would have involved twice yearly travel to Paris. I was so excited! But, after months of promises, the offer just disappeared. Very disappointing.

Fortunately we have your photos to look at - I study them closely, picking out those items that I would have loved and possibly bought. The clothes form would definitely have been one of them! Such a lovely shape to her!

Col...you seem to be having an amazing time..I LOVE the very stylish lady with the dog in the basket trolley...just so very French.I am so excited to see that you are posting again..I miss you when you disappear!Love from a hot and dusty Dubai!!!!J

Pin it!

About Me

Like so many francophiles out there, I have also fallen under the spell of all things French. The lifestyle, the markets, French Brocantes... I love the hunt for antique monogrammed linen,chanvre, metis,hemp and lace, religious iconography, vieux carte postale or whatever intrigue to bring back and share at my brocante events.
Living in Stellenbosch winelands in the very South of Africa,we combine our colonial roots with French finds. These are my passions.This is my world.
